Sophie Taeuber-Arp is a posthumous attempt to rehabilitate an artist who is too little known and whose work has been overshadowed by that of her husband, the sculptor Jean Arp. Many witnesses have come forward to talk about this radiant yet discreet woman who ‘served tea’ and did not talk about her research and work, all in the tradition of the Bauhaus and abstraction, always leaving her husband in the limelight. The film is constructed like a well-informed report, which, through extensive interviews with family members, former students and other artist as well as a wealth of documentation and colourful artworks, gives this hyper-talented artist the place she deserves and never had.
Christoph Kühn (1952) is a screenwriter, director and cinematographer. In 1975-79 he attends the HFF (Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film) in Munich. Since 1983 works as an independent film director with numerous documentaries to his name.
